Additional programme features

Swanwick isn't all about attending courses and listening to speakers. During the week there are a number of other things happening to keep you busy. Here's what to look forward to:

For regular periods throughout each day, the Book Room is open to sell delegates' books. Do come along to buy something from the Swanwick family.

Tuesday sees a repeat of our hugely successful Q&A Panel. This year the focus is on ePublishing, with a preliminary talk by author, entrepreneur and WN columnist Rebecca Woodhead. There are also prebookable 1:1 Sessions available with this year's specialist course leaders.

On Tuesday afternoon you can join our organised excursion to Haddon Hall or go for a walk, do some writing, or simply relax. Alternatively, you can take part in Write, Camera, Action! as a writer, director or actor to help showcase Swanwick's scriptwriters.

From Monday morning onwards, there is a non-denominational Lift Up Your Hearts service of praise in the Chapel, led by Swanwick delegates. There is also a service in the Chapel, or a Roman Catholic service, before lunch on Sunday.

If you are an early morning writer, why not try Lift Up Your Pens to get your creative juices flowing before breakfast?

When the day's courses and workshops are over, you can Read/Write/Relax, enjoying read around sessions, themed workshops or Unwind Your Mind with Zana Lamont to re-energise yourself before dinner and the Evening Events.
